Happy Wednesday!
The week is half over!
That means we can have cocktails, right?
Guys, I have had a week.
And by a week, I mean all of 2016.
Is it over yet?
Let me tell you about my new favorite cocktail.
I bought a bottle of bourbon months ago for a recipe and have been trying to get rid of it ever since. Which explains why I’ve only had bourbon cocktails on the blog this year (margaritas coming soon, I promise!) but omg, it’s the neverending bottle of bourbon.
Okay, so, this Raspberry Bourbon Smash recipe may look weird because it starts with jam.
Yeah, jam.
But I promise it works!
I was worried it would be super sweet but it really wasn’t. And the jam didn’t give it a weird texture or anything. I really enjoyed it and would totally make it again. I think this would be the perfect poolside drink and I bet you could even use fresh raspberries once berries are in season again!
(The cute little square ice cubes are made with these trays. I’m obsessed.)

I;m not much of a bourbon gal, but raspberry jam and I am all in! it looks so pretty
Oooh! My husband and stepmom bond over bourbon drinks, and this one looks right up their alley. I’ll definitely have to make this for them next time we are together!! :)
I approve! I love bourbon!
Can i substitute the orange juice for another type of juice? I am allergic to all citrus fruits.
Honestly, I’ve never tried substituting anything else so I can’t be sure but I’m gonna guess that any other kind of juice you like would be delicious. You really can’t go wrong with raspberry and bourbon.
